Anthony Mantha was born on September 16, 1994, in Longueuil, Quebec. A star for the Val-d'Or Foreurs of the QMJHL, the big forward was selected 20th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Mantha made his professional debut in the American Hockey League for the Grand Rapids Griffins during the 2014-15 season. In 62 games for the club, he scored 15 times and added 18 assists. He would spend the majority of the following season with Grand Rapids as well, but would get his first taste of NHL action on March 15, 2016. He would go on to appear in 10 games for the red Wings as the season came to a close and would return to Grand Rapids for the AHL playoffs.

Mantha would begin the 2016-17 season on the American Hockey League, but would be summoned to join the Red Wings after just 10 games. He would quickly establish himself as a full-time NHLer, appearing in 60 games and scoring 17 times. The following season Mantha reached the 20-mark for the first time in his career. Suiting up in 80 games, he found the back of the net 24 times and added 24 assists for 48 points.

On the international stage, Mantha was Canada's leading scorer at the 2014 World Junior Championship, recording five goals and six assists in seven games.
